STOCKHOLM (AFP) ― The worldwide hit crime trilogy “Millennium” by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson will have a fourth installment, Sweden’s Norstedts Publishing Group said Tuesday.
“We have now decided to let somebody take over and tell what happened next,” Norstedts publisher Eva Gedin said in a statement.
Swedish author David Lagercrantz, co-author of Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s biography “I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic,” will be responsible for the new addition, which will hit the shelves in mid-2015, a decade after the first Millennium book was published.
“I’ve already started writing and it’s terribly fun,” Lagercrantz said in the statemtent.
“It’s a fantastic world to step into.”
According to the publishers, the author will continue the same main characters ― Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative reporter, and Lisbeth Salander, a feisty rebel hacker-turned-detective ― as well as some plot lines from previous books, but will also add personal touches.
